Self help books are garbage because they usually offer advice in the form of "....do THIS, to be happy", or "...take these steps to be successful financially". And these books are written by 'experts' (usually in their own minds), who may or may not take their own advice.
Put down the fiction every now and then and you might gain something....if anything, you'll go to sleep better at night.Posted on 3/25/14 at 9:31 am to I Love Bama

"seven steps of highly effective people"
I'm thinking of purchasing this today. Did you get the audiobook or paperback?
I've read a couple of John Maxwell books and did some Maxwell leadership training a year back, but I don't think I got as much out of it as I could have. Great lessons and insight, but I'm the definition of "out of sight, out of mind" and need to dedicate more time to self-improvement. Watching CNN/Fox's Malaysia airlines coverage nonstop for 2.5 weeks has reminded me of how much time I waste.

"It's Your Ship"
This book is required reading for all partners at our firm. It is more of a managerial book, but has some great points in it. The premise is this guy took the shittiest ship in the navy and made it the best. He is well spoken and you don't feel like you're reading some cheesedick book written by a pyramid scheme guy on how to get rich quick. I highly recommend trying it out.

I asked the librarian where the self help section was but she told me to find it myself....
